Tea Cosies and Abby & Hoot

Hi guys,

I have needed a teacosy for ages, but have been completely overwhelmed by all the wonderful pattern options on ravelry.com.  Then I was sitting watching something rubbish on TV and thought I might use a section of a fair-isle jumper pattern I had seen and make up the pattern as I went.  I'm pretty happy with it, although it's a bit hard to get on and off!






My lovely friend Laura has a gorgeous son, Patrick who is obsessed with Giggle & Hoot so Miss Abby and I decided to make him a Hoot toy.  For all those of you who have somehow escaped the Giggle & Hoot machine, or don't know anyone under the age of 5 (it equates to the same thing), here is a picture of the actual Hoot toy:



I find the show fairly terrifying, but little kiddies love it so who am I to judge.  I will just say that when I was growing up we had Duckula, Danger Mouse, The Trapdoor and many other highly quality shows that made us nineties kids the high-functioning, responsible and well adjusted adults we are today.
Anyhoo.
Finished Hoot
We were pretty happy with the results given we didn't use a pattern! And Paddy was also psyched according to Laura :)

High level of excitement at the Picture Gallery
